“Modern warfare is incompatible with inexperienced volunteers,” says Cotrim Figueiredo.

João Cotrim Figueiredo, candidate of the Liberal Initiative in the European elections, talks about the contradiction between Chega and the President of the Assembly of the Republic. “The President of the Assembly of the Republic was right not to issue a warning,” he says.

Regarding compulsory military service, Cotrim Figueiredo says he is against it. “Modern warfare is incompatible with inexperienced and poorly trained volunteers. They must be professionals and increasingly qualified,” he says.

The European candidate says nuclear energy is a viable solution to the energy crisis, but says “Portugal has other ways to produce renewable energy.” However, he emphasizes that “anyone who wants to accelerate the energy transition must be a supporter of nuclear energy.”
